So I’ve been real tired since the Ibu house move and all our other activities that I am telling myself we need to slow down. Seriously….I need to force myself to say NO. And guess what? This weekend, we already have Saturday – kidsport at 11am, birthday party at 4pm and dinner with Dutch family friend arriving in KL. Sunday – we have to be at the zoo by 9am….the following Saturday, another birthday party. I swear, it’s birthday party season….what should I say? No, we’re not free that weekend….I’ve already lied a few times.

And then today, we get invited to another long lost friend’s daughter’s birthday party. The Hubs said since we missed their baby’s christening, we should really go for the party as we’ve not even met the little girl.

Hmmm….when will this end?

So I ask myself. How would I feel if I had a party and A told me she wasnt free to come as she already had something else on versus she telling me she’d love to come but she is just too damn tired and wants to avoid parties for awhile. Which answer would I respect more? Funnily enough, I’ve been selling theatre tickets in raising funds for charity this past week and I started off with sms-ing everyone on my phone book to help buy some tickets off me. I get some “sorry we are not gonna be around that week” (I did suggest that you could always give the tickets away as gifts – even to the dog, the point is to work towards a charitable cause this month!), some “let me check my schedule first” or “let me ask my partner first” (fair enough, I shall await your decisions or are you hoping I forget about you?) and some who do not reply at all (how rude!). Of course there were the “Yes, please count me in!” supporters. What I really wanted was more honesty. If you cant afford it or dont want to afford it, say so. If you dont believe in charity, say so. But dont NOT reply without a darn good reason because you’re only shooting yourself in my book. There was one guy who was down with a viral fever who didnt reply – he is excused.

So does this mean that in future, I will tell people directly that I will not be attending their functions because I am too lazy to leave the comforts of my boudoir?

Time will tell.

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
